MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

As always, some wonderful finds, oldies but goodies and special requests. Click on the photos and links

It was a banner Sunday at a local tag sale a few weeks back----and it was so good to see so many people out and about. We found scads of old photos and cabinet cards and have posted two here with more to come in the weeks ahead. Unknown beauties...perhaps actresses....most likely from around World War One.

They're followed by an unusual 1950's toy, the Para-Jet, featured in a long ago auction at SeriousToyz----ade by Admiral Toys, 9", hard plastic jet gun w/ silk parachute; ejects pilot just like a real jet plane...pull trigger, canopy opens & pilot shoots up and parachutes gracefully down.

And finally, the latest in Howard's small castle series---see them all, don't forget there are multiple pages, patterns, etc. at  https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1889

Again, click on the photos and links.

Worth looking at again: Marx Ranch house--from Toys & Stuff: Back on Mar 3, 2011 Toys & Stuff featured scans of this modern Ranch House (Ranch House scans) and today we're FINALLY featuring photos of the built-up house. The house measures 7 5/8" (19.4cm) L x 3 1/8" (7.9cm)n D x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) H. This whole debacle has taught me a lesson (I hope). That is, not to post scans unless I've also built the structure and photographed it. It just makes life a lot easier. Enjoy! Go to http://bit.ly/1FBDvtt

Worth mentioning again: Vintage catalog time--catalogs from the 60’s and 70’s…lots of toys! And mainly G.I. Joe, but also Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, etc. http://gijoe.ebcutler.com/christmas/index.html
